AWS greengrass: Fix URLs in offline authentication docs

Service: greengrass · 2026-08-19 · Documentation low

File: greengrass/v2/developerguide/offline-authentication.md

Summary

Corrected two URLs related to client device authentication and API references by removing extra slashes.

Security assessment

Fixes broken links in security-adjacent documentation but doesn't alter security guidance or address vulnerabilities.

Evidence

+You can configure the length of time that the Greengrass core device stores credentials. You can set the timeout from one minute to 2,147,483,647 minutes by setting the `clientDeviceTrustDurationMinutes` configuration option in the [client device auth component configuration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/client-device-auth-component.html#client-device-auth-component-configuration). The default is one minute, which effectively turns off offline authentication. When you set this timeout, we recommend that you consider your security needs. You should also consider how long you expect core devices to run while disconnected from the cloud.
